The RR vs RCB match in IPL 2025 will take place at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will don their green jerseys for the upcoming clash against Rajasthan Royals (RR). This will be the 28th match of the season, scheduled for Sunday, April 13, with the afternoon game set to begin at 3:30 PM IST.
RCB’s Green Jerseys and Sustainability Commitment
RCB’s green jerseys, crafted from recycled fabric, emphasize the franchise’s ongoing sustainability efforts, aiming to raise awareness about conservation and environmental protection. As a carbon-neutral T20 franchise, RCB uses this initiative, launched at their home stadium for fan engagement, to further involve supporters in their environmental mission with the goal of becoming carbon positive.
Rajesh Menon, COO of RCB, shared: “For us, it’s about being bold, both on and off the pitch. Our green jerseys are more than just a symbol; they’re a call to action. As proud representatives of the Garden City, sustainability is a natural priority. Through this initiative, we aim to use RCB’s cultural and social influence to drive awareness and inspire fans to take small steps toward conservation.”
RCB’s sustainability efforts are deeply rooted in data. Regular carbon audits track their ecological impact across all operations, including emissions from diesel generators at the stadium and the carbon footprint from fan commutes. The franchise also assesses the travel footprint of players, support staff, and the cheer squad, analyzing accommodation bookings and waste emissions to ensure a comprehensive approach to environmental responsibility.
RCB has implemented a range of strategies to offset their carbon footprint, including waste management and segregation at the stadium, as well as utilizing renewable energy sources like solar-powered lighting and wind energy. These efforts aim to reduce reliance on conventional resources.
On the community front, RCB’s outreach includes the creation of green schools and lake rejuvenation projects throughout Bengaluru last year. They also encourage fans to pledge their commitment to energy conservation, empowering them to actively participate in the sustainability movement.
